Trail Notes

  • This trail is best ridden in a clockwise direction.  Enter at the trailhead on the left (you'll see "MTB" in yellow on a tree).
  • There is 5-6 miles of trail.
  • The "Outer Loop" is marked with yellow squares on trees.  It is fairly technical and is intended for intermediate level riders.  The "Inner Loop" is marked with orange squares and consists of a pea gravel type surface.  It is rideable by all skill levels.
  • There is no running water to fill your water bottles, but there is a bathroom facility.

 

The trailhead is marked with this small yellow MTB sign.  Several turns for the intermediate level trail are marked by this same sign along the trail.  You will see small yellow and/or orange squares marking the trail along the way.


The Ridge Trail

The Rideg Trail connects West Conway (Centenial Valley) with Cadron Settlement park via a trail that climbs and follows the ridge.  We have permission to ride and/or hike/run this trail.  No ATV or motorized traffic is allowed (on the park trails either for that matter).  You can access the trail from Bay Hill Rd in Centenial Valley via one of the trailheads pictured below.  Both of these easternmost trailheads are located in the curve of Bay Hill drive just about 30 feet from each other.

The trailhead pictured on the left above requires you to take another immediate left once you get underneath the powerline in order to ride the trail to the top (or you can hike-a-bike to the top of the ridge).  The trailhead pictured on the right will take you on a double track path angled up to the top of the ridge.

The picture on the left above is the west end of the Ridge Trail as it leaves the woods.  There currently is a small plastic sack stuck to the tree indicating the trail.  It is locate across the highway from the gravel road entrance pictured on the right above.  This road forms the easternmost boundary to Cadron.  You can acess Cadron trails from this road or you can ride down to the park for the trailhead entrance.
